STAFF REPORT
Richard Faust, Faust Engineering, has applied for a Special Exception to the minimum side yard
setback requirement where nonconforming buildings were in existence at the time of passage of
the ordinance for the property located at 885 Powell Street.
The term "Special Exception" shall trican a deviation from the requirements of the zoning
ordinance, specifically enumerated herein, which shall be granted only in the following
instances, and then only when the Board finds that such Special Exception will not adversely
affect the value and use of adjacent or neighboring property or be contrary to the best public
interest. The Special Exception, See. 28.02.005 (B) (vi), allows a waiver fron-1 the minimum
interior side yard setback where nonconforming buildings were in existence at the time of
passage of the ordinance. This structure was in existence in 1962 per Jefferson County Appraisal
District records.
Mr. Faust has applied for a minor plat and therefore requests to adjust the interior side property
line to be situated 1.89' from the existing structure. By strict compliance with the City of
Beaumont Zoning Regulations, the irimimurn side yard setback would be 5' for a one-story
structure.
Approval of this request would allow the interior side yard setback for a one-story house to be
reduced from 5' to 1.89' upon final recordation with the Jefferson County Clerk's Office.
Exhibits are attached.

To Whom It May Concern:
Re: 885 Powell Street, Beaumont, Beaumont
Telephone (409) 813-3410
Fax (409) 813-3484
Our firm was engaged to provide surveys of the above -referenced properties. Upon
completion of our work, we found that the structure located at 885 Powell Street
overlapped the east line of the 890 Jackson Street property. In order to resolve the
boundary conflict, we are proposing a minor plat to relocate the boundary line
between the 2 structures, which would require us to reduce the side setback line and
the minimum frontage requirement for 885 Powell Street.
Attached is a drawing which shows the proposed boundary line, the requested
reduction ht the side setback line, and the reduction in the minimum frontage for
885 Powell Street.
Thank you for your consideration of these items. If you have any questions, I may
be reached by telephone at 409-813-3410.
